k4pil Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Hi there. This should be a quickie...I am inserting data into my database as below;[code]$query = "INSERT INTO product VALUES ('','$prodName','$prodDesc','$supplier','$costPound', '$costPence')"; mysql_query($query); [/code]All values are passed from a form and its all working fine.I then want to query the databse and output products searched for by the user. e.g.[code]$query = "SELECT * FROM product WHERE productID = '$ID' OR prodName = '$prodName' OR prodDesc = '$prodDesc' OR supplier = '$supplier' OR costPound = '$costPound' OR costPence = '$costPence'";$result = mysql_query($query); $num = mysql_numrows($result);[/code]The problem is when the user specifies he/she wants the output contain the row he/she wants but also all other rows that contain the value 0. for example if a product cost £10.00 this is output because in the costPence column the value exists as 0.How can i avoid this? Is there a method or some logic that i need??Thanks in advance as always ppl!

running_out_of_imagination Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 If you want the products that cost £10,00 you have to use:[code]costPound = '$costPound' AND costPence = '$costPence'";[/code]Maybe merge both fileds as no one will look up for something that costs £x,65 beeing x any value Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/3790-database-querying-help/#findComment-13167 Share on other sites More sharing options...
